Abc - The Real Thing lyrics

A mongoose can smile at a cobra

But that cobra will always be a snake

Diamante can shine like a diamond

But you know, like I know that rock will be fake

It's the real thing, the real thing

Nothing but the real thing, it's real

It's the real thing, the real thing

Nothing but the real thing, it's real

It's real, yeah

So real, yeah

You can xerox the Mona Lisa

Deadpan Da Vinci in every detail

Might beat customs on a homemade visa

But false papers only gets you in jail

It's the real thing, the real thing

Nothing but the real thing, it's real

It's the real thing, the real thing

Nothing but the real thing, it's real

It's real, yeah

So real, yeah

Life wears a smile on it's face

But it comes with a sting in it's tail

Make believe fables have their place

But only a fool, only a fool

Only a fool believes fairy tales

I heard all the lies that they tell you

Phone me baby, the check's in the mail

Well as fantasy might please you

But as the real thing, it does nothing but fail

It's the real thing, the real thing

Nothing but the real thing, it's real

It's the real thing, the real thing

Nothing but the real thing, it's real

It's real, yeah

So real, yeah

It's real, yeah

It's so real....

It's real, yeah

So real, yeah

(Repeat)
